Folding Towels - A Podcast for Massage Therapists with Jackie and David Episode 071: Setting Yourself Up for the New Year
In this episode Jackie and David dive into how we’re each planning for the year ahead, both in our businesses and personal lives. David talks about his need for structure – how he plans holidays, blocks out family time, and makes sure important dates are locked in early so he can be fully present. Jackie shares her more flexible approach to scheduling and how she balances the unpredictability of life with her business.
We also cover some essential housekeeping for massage therapists, like reviewing your annual costs, planning price increases, and staying on top of things like first aid certifications and insurance. And let’s not forget the importance of self-care – booking regular massages, making time for hobbies, and finding joy outside of work are things we can’t ignore. Whether you’re a detailed planner like me or prefer to take things as they come like Jackie, this episode is all about helping you find balance and get set up for a rewarding and manageable year ahead.
